• WARNING!: This story does have mention of blood in it and near the end it does get a little gruesome. So if you are younger then thirteen, you may not want to read it. I don't want this to get kicked out of gaia arenas so thats why I'm warning everyone. Thanks! ^_^

    This is a story about Scarlet Tenshi. She's a secret assassin and her job is to keep Kyu Vahn (Vahn pronounced 'Van') safe from a evil gang leader that seeks his life. Along with having to make sure Kyu stays out of trouble, she has to keep a eye on his two collage friends, Hale and Kade. She, also having to go everywhere with the three eighteen year old boys, also has to go to their collage pretending to be a exchange student from a different country. She finds this hard to keep secret on the first day of school when she go's to the principle's office for beating up the school's bullies. She also has to keep a sharp eye out for any of the gang leader's minions. If they appear at school she'll have to fight them off, and that would make it that much harder to keep everyone unsuspecting about her true identity.
    ...CHAPTER 1 OF, THE SCARLET ANGEL...

    She sat in a tree...Her pretty, lightly tanned legs dangling over the thick branch she perched on top of. Her short, black hair behind her back. Her green eyes mysteriously watching the unsuspecting Japanese collage boys that slowly walked passed the tree she sat in, recapping the day to each other.
    "Yeah, today was terrible. Mr. Mashingan is seriously out to get me!" Said one of the three.
    "He's not out to get you Kade. He just hates you." Said another, giving Kade a 'Hate to be you' grin.
    "He's the principle. I can't ever talk back to him. Even if he's wrong and I'm right!" Kade remarked.
    "Dude. Chill. Besides, he is always right and your always wrong. Even when you think it's a one in a hundred billion chance that he's actually right, and your wrong, he always happens to be the one." Said the young man that was having the conversation with Kade.
    She watched as the boys progressed down the beautiful, but long, road that seemed never-ending. There was tall tree's on either side so it was very easy for her to stay with them. Without them noticing.
    She also saw that the third boy was not speaking at all. He didn't look like he was going to make himself part of the conversation anytime soon. The two others were so engrossed in their argument about the principle, that they didn't even notice that he was merely just a body. A thoughtful person. Shutting off the outside world.
    She was currently on the left side of the road. Jumping to the tree ahead of her, she ruffled the leafs they were completely silent.
    She jumped to the right side of the road, right over their heads, behind a tree instead of on it this time. Feet away from the speechless boy. She walked amongst the root's of the ever-growing tree's in the same rhythm of the boy's. She then walked out of the tree's darkness, only showing herself to the one boy, putting her index finger up to her mouth and saying "Shh.", she walked back into the tree's darkness. He jumped at the sight of a woman, bumping into Kade, almost making him fall to the soft dirt trail.
    The two boys turned to the boy who bumped Kade and said, "Dude! Why did you do that!?" as one.
    The boy was opening and closing his mouth as if to speak but didn't. Finally he made words come out, "I, I saw a-a woman!" He said with a shocked look.
    Kade and the other boy got a easy look on their faces. "Your acting like you've never seen a woman before."
    He slapped his forehead, "No! I have seen a woman in general before, just I saw one now, just now. She was right next to me!" He said.
    The other's looked at each other and Kade turned to him, "Okay. We've decided to humor you, where is this woman?" asked the one next to Kade with a annoyed attitude.
    "She's not here now! She went back into the tree's! She even went 'Shh' to me just before she left."
    "What ever dude." Said Kade brushing him off and resuming his chat with his friend.

    Later that day at his house he thought about the girl as Kade and his other friend walked ahead of him to his room. He stopped at the stairs and called up to them, "I'll be up in a minute, I just want to get something to drink."
    "Okay." They answered.
    He walked into the medium sized kitchen, grabbed a cup and started filling it with cold water. He started drinking it, leaning against the sink he looked out the window in the living room,(In plain sight from the kitchen) and saw her. He almost choked on his water as he shot up from his leaning pose on the sink and ran over to the window. She's staying there this time. he thought to himself as he was just a thin sheet of glass away from her. She eyed him. He eyed her odd outfit. She looks like a playboy bunny. he thought as he was looking at her. She didn't actually look like a slut, it was just her outfit. I mean she was wearing a tight black leather mini skirt, a also black leather, cropped jacked, a shirt that he could see two fourths of her stomach with, and fishnet stockings, no shoes. “She's beautiful”, he said aloud in a whisper. She got up from her crouched pose and walked over to the door and tapped her long black finger nails on the little window on it. He scrambled to the door and unlocked it, looking at the woman standing before him. He had to look down to her but she was gorgeous, her hair, her eyes, everything...WAIT dude, you haven't even met her! He slapped his forehead and she looked puzzled, hand on hip, "Are you going to let me in, or not?" She simply said in a heavy, sounded Irish, accent. "Or are you just going to have me stand here and look pretty?"
    He snapped back to attention and quickly opened the door and she slowly walked in. Looking around at her surroundings. She turned to him, "Okay, here's why I'm here, I'm a secret assassin from a secret guild that you can't know about, I'm here to protect you because someone is going to try to kill you. My job is to keep you safe, alive, and unharmed." She stopped then added, "Oh, and my name's Tensh-..." She was cut short by his radio put to full blast in his room. He spun around, just to see his friends at the bottom of the stair's. Staring at her. "Tenshi." She finished with a attitude. "I'm sorry about them." He said as his friends walked forward and Kade saying, "Hey babe what's up?" her expressionless face then turned to a half hostile half annoyed face. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him down to her hight, "Don't call me 'babe' boy." Her face right up against his, the other two thinking she was going to beat Kade into the next life. She, still clenching his shirt, his face an inch from hers, "Oh, your feisty too." He said with a cool expression. She let him down and started laughing and looked up. "I admire your calm attitude."
    The other's just stared at him in a honestly confused look. "Dude, you go crazy all day when the principle proves you wrong, and you stay completely calm when a pissed chick, holding you by your collar, is contemplating what your grave stone is going to look like!?" Said one of his friends.
    "Oh, yeah." Said Kade.
    "Ah, and my name is Kyu." Said the, once speechless boy.
    "My name is Hale." Said the boy that was talking with Kade.
    Tenshi stood there staring at them then she said, "Okay. Odd names. Odd is good in some cases. I, as you know, am Tenshi. But I'm called Agent Scarlet Tenshi. You can just call me Tenshi for the time I'm here. I'll explain everything as you ask."
    "Well," Said Kyu, "I just want to know, why me? Why does someone want to kill me? What did I ever do?"
    "I can answer that. You, are the last of the Vahn's. Well living at least. And your ancestor's were very high and mighty, in Japan. So this cocky gang leader decided he was going to kill all of them. Well after many, many long and hard years of tracking down, killing, and covering his own tracks, he finally did it. He finally killed them all. Well so he thought. He then soon after found out that the last female of the family that hid herself very well, was pregnant. With you. And that she shipped you off to someone, somewhere until you where old enough, then you went to this school. You, as I already know, never knew the person your mother sent you to. You were too young. Then that person sent you to this year long school. You stayed here, and as you got older and older and progressed through with amazing grades, it became easier for the gang leader to track you. With you going to all the spelling B's and getting awards he came up with this school. He's been having his little minion's keep a close eye on you. He would have taken you down by now if it wasn't for you always being around people. He didn't want himself to be discovered." She told them.
    The boys just stood there staring at her.
    "I assume your Kade." She asked him.
    "Oh, yeah babe. I'm Kade."
    She just rolled her eye's and looked at Kyu again, "No one except you, Kade and Hale can know about me. I have to be with you at all times. So basically that means I have to go to school with you as a exchange student. I also have to make sure we have the same classes. I already know that you three have all the same classes. We have to keep it that way." Tenshi said.
    An Hour Later...
    "You have a pretty nice house." Complimented Tenshi.
    "Thanks."
    "I hope you have a place I can sleep near you're room."
    "Yes, I do. The guest bedroom is right across the hall from mine. I'll call the principle now and tell him your a exchange student I'm taking to school. Don't worry he won't think anything of it, since people in the school bring new exchange students to school all the time."
    "Good."
    "What time do I need to set my alarm clock for?" Asked Tenshi.
    "I get up at 6:30A.M. to make breakfast for everyone. Since Hale and Kade eat enough for all of us, I have to make a lot."
    She stood there a moment and slowly sat down in one of the chairs at the dinner table.
    "Your saying, that Hale and Kade, live with you?"
    "Well, yeah. They moved out of their parent's house and we just decided to buy a house together. Saves money."
    "Ah, okay." She replied.
    "Well, it's dinner time so...what do you guys usually have for dinner?"
    "Take out." Said Hale and Kade.
    After the take out got there...
    Tenshi took some chopsticks out and started slowly eating the ramen she ordered, as Kade and Hale took huge piles of it and started jamming it into their mouths.
    Tenshi and Kyu ate like normal people.
    "How do you stand them?" Asked Tenshi.
    "I have no idea." Said Kyu staring at Hale and Kade.
    "Well, I'm off to bed." Said Tenshi. Kyu had just noticed that she had completely finished her food.
    "Good night." They told her.
    Tenshi put her empty food container in the trash and walked up the stairs, took a right and opened her door, walked in and silently shut it behind her.
    She sat on the bed and took the alarm clock in both hands and started fooling with the buttons until she set it to go off at 6:30A.M.
    Then she walked into the little bathroom off of her room and filled a cup of water, started drinking it. I can't believe I, of all people, have to do this. Why didn't they get someone else? Sure I'm one of the best agents there but...it just doesn't make any sense. I'm stuck watching after Kyu...and his friends, because if his friends get killed...if Kyu gets killed...it'll be all over...
    "You okay?"
    She gasped and whirled around and almost spilled her water all over the floor.
    "Oh, uh, yes. I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
    Kyu looked at her and said, "Its just, you came up in kinda a hurry. I just wanted to make sure everything was alright. With you being in the house with three guys, and all."
    He rubbed the back of his head and waited for her reply.
    "Oh, its okay. If it looked like I was in a hurry, I wasn't. Every thing's okay. Don't worry. Plus, I've done this more then once. It's not like a new thing to me."
    "That's good. I just hope you don't have a horrible time here."
    She smiled, showing her perfect, white teeth.
    "Aw, I doubt I'll have a horrible time. I bet I'll have a great time. Since it wasn't that long ago I was in the training collage of my guild anyway."
    "What do you mean? I mean, when did you graduate?"
    "Since I'm only eighteen, I graduated...five months ago." Tenshi told Kyu.
    Kyu's eyes grew wide.
    "Really? Wow so your practically fresh out of the training collage?"
    "Yeah. They told me I was the best student they had ever had."
    "Thats awesome!" Kyu exclaimed.
    She blushed
    "Aw, your sweet."
    "Well I really must be getting to bed. Getting up when you are."
    Kyu looked at the little clock on the bathroom wall, it was 8:47P.M.
    "Yeah, I should be getting to bed too."
    He put one hand in his pocket and he put his other hand behind his head.
    "Ladies first." He said blushing.
    She set the cup on the sink and walked out.
    "Well, Goodnight." Kyu said to her.
    "Goodnight." She said.
    After he left and shut the door she quickly slipped out of her daytime clothes and got into a short black shirt with orange shorts. She sat on the soft bed and grazed her hand along the silk sheets.
    This is going to be nice...before I was just making more out of it...tomorrow...I'll get up...and go to school...
    She slowly slipped into the bed and under the warm covers. Then before she knew it, she was fast asleep. Awaiting the next day.
    6:30A.M. Monday morning...
    Tenshi awoke to the constant beep of her alarm clock and the faint smell of eggs and grilled peppers.
    She got out of bed quickly brushed her hair and walked out of her room, shut the door and walked down the stairs.
    "Hey, good morning Kyu, Hale, and Kade."
    "Good morning!" Said Kyu, cheerfully.
    "Morning." Said Hale.
    "Hey Babe, did you sleep good?" He said getting up and bowing to her.
    "I told you to stop calling me that." She said cocking her head.
    "Oh," He said with a frown, and making a 'Aw please?' look, "I just thought it was cute."
    She started laughing, "Ha, okay you can call me 'babe' but," She said with a straight face, "I don't want people thinking we are a item. Okay?"
    "I think we would be a hot couple. But okay." Said Kade.
    She just shook her head and walked over the Kyu, at the stove.
    "Already making breakfast?"
    "Yes. I have to with them in the house."
    "Hey!" They said at once.
    "You've gotta love me." Said Kade with a smile.
    They all started laughing like, 'yeah right!'

    "Hey Tenshi," Kyu said, "The principle sent over a outfit for you this morning. You can go get into in if you want." Kyu said as they were just finishing breakfast.
    "I'll do that." Tenshi said with a smile.
    She took the nicely folded red and black outfit and went up the stairs to put it on.
    In her room she unfolded it and took a look, it was a neat shirt with a black dragon emblem on the tie that it came with, a wine mini skirt, red stockings that came up to her knee's, a black dress coat that was meant to stay unbuttoned, and only went down to her waist, and a pair of black one inch woman's dress shoes. She held the outfit to herself as she stood in front of the large mirror balancing on the wall. Well it's nice. For a school uniform, at least. She thought as she slipped into it. She tied her shoes and walked over to the bathroom mirror and started brushing her clean, shiny hair and putting a few red clips in her hair. She walked down stairs and asked, "What do you think?"
    "Well, well. You don't look like a assassin. You look like the hottest girl in the whole school." Said Kade.
    "Ha, I would have laughed at that, but maybe I'll just punch you." She said playfully.
    "Okay, okay." He said putting his hands up in defense.
    "You look great." Said Kyu
    "Yeah, you really do." Hale said.
    "Thanks!" She said in a unusually cheery tone.
    "Well you all ready?" Asked Kyu.
    "Yeah." Hale said.
    They all four walked out, Kyu locked the door and they started walking down that familiar dirt road, with trees on either side.
    After a little while of walking they where in front of a huge school. Tenshi looked up. a long flag was draped over the front of the school. With the same dragon on it just like on the uniforms. She started walking with the boys into the school.
    "Ah, hello boys...and girl." Said a man in a nice and very expensive looking suit.
    "Mr. Mashingan, hello." Said Kyu.
    Tenshi saw that this was the man that Kade and Hale where arguing about. He has a soft face. He looks nice. She thought as Kyu talked, "Tenshi, this is the principle, Mr. Mashingan. Mr. Mashingan, this is that exchange student I told you about. Tenshi is her name."
    "Hello Tenshi." Mr. Mashingan said with a warm smile.
    "Hello." She simply answered.
    "Why don't you boy's give Miss Tenshi a tour of the campus?"
    "Okay." Said Kyu.

    "And this is the Art room. The last room we haven't showed you." Kyu told her.
    "Nice. It looks fun." Tenshi said.
    A little down the hall a group of three rough and tough boys walked towards them. A small nerdy looking kid was walking down the hall also and when the 'leader' of the mean looking boys came up behind him, he pushed him with brute force, "Move!" He said as the boy hit the hard floor of the hall, books scattering. His glasses skidded across the polished floor and stopped from hitting Tenshi's shoe. She bent down and picked up and broken glasses. Kyu and the other two saw her face, she...looked...pissed, was a simple way of putting it.
    She had them in her hand and started pounding towards the boys that pushed the boy to the floor.
    Once she was right in front of them, she balled one fist and swung her hand at his face so hard that he went crashing to the hall floor with a loud thud, his nose bleeding she merely stepped over him and kicked one in the knee cap, he fell to the floor and she grabbed the collar of the last and pulled him to her face, "I hope you don't want to mess with me. The last thing I'll stand for is someone being bullied by a bunch of brainless degenerates. Get the picture?" She said with a violent attitude.
    "Yes, yes." He said shaking his head 'yes' as she threw him out of her way. She stood above him as he was rubbing his eyes and trying to gather all his books. "I believe these are yours." Tenshi said holding out his glasses, now fixed. He took them gratefully as she held out her hand for him to take it. He took it as if on cue and he stood up. She picked up the last two books he couldn't find without his glasses. "Thanks." He said. "No one ever helps me up." He said with his head down.
    "Anytime, darling." She said with a smile. She turned and as she walked past the 'leader' of the boys she put her heel on his head and pushed it down to the floor. "Now, I don't think you'll ever be harming him, or anyone else again? Will you?"
    "I don't take orders from girls." He said.
    She pushed her foot harder down onto his head, his face now turning red from the pressure.
    "Oh, a bad boy like you doesn't take orders from girls? Well I'll fix that."
    She grabbed his shirt, making him dangle in the air. She then proceeded to ram him head into the floor until he yelled, "Okay! Okay! I wont do it anymore! I wont bully him anymore!"
    She dropped him and turned back to the boy he punched to the floor, "If he ever bothers you again just tell me." She said with a smile.
    "O-okay. Thanks again."
    Tenshi turned to Kyu, "So whats our first class?"
    They looked at each other and said, "Well it's art."

    They walked down the hall a bit and walked into the art class room.
    "Welcome, welcome!" Said a feminine, high, squeaky voice.
    Tenshi jumped as the little woman quickly got out of her seat and popped up in front of Tenshi, "And who are you little lady?"
    She's calling me little? Has she looked in the mirror lately?
    "I'm Tenshi. How are you?"
    "Ooh, I'm fine! Peachy! Wooonderful! Oh, and I'm Mrs. Hana."
    Ha, ha, ha...this woman is beginning to scare me.
    "Oh, thank heavens! The whole class is finally here! Everyone please take a seat. Theres a new class mate you all need to meet. She's a exchange student from...uh...where are you from?" She asked Tenshi.
    "Uh, I'm from...IRELAND!" She blurted out.
    "Ah, that would explain your accent."
    "Now, Tenshi, why don't you tell us a little about yourself?"
    She stood there for a second and then said, "Well, my name is Tenshi, for those of you who don't know. My whole name is Scarlet Tenshi. I'm eighteen. And I love the color black." She said she loves the color black while holding out her hands for the whole class to see her midnight black colored, one inch nails. "Oh, and their real too." She quickly added.
    She took a seat in the middle of Kyu and Kade, Hale being on the other side of Kade.
    "Now what we have to do today is paint a picture. Your probably thinking that we paint some kind of picture everyday but, I want you to paint a picture of what you want or in vision your life to look like in one, multicolored, well or not so well, thought out, picture! Start now!"
    Tenshi looked around and saw that everyone else had already started painting something. Even Kade, Kyu and Hale. Then she saw that Mrs. Hana had started doing a word cross game.
    I just need to paint a picture. No big deal. I've done stuff a million times harder then this before. This has got to be the easiest part of school. No pressure. How can I not do this? I've killed people before and I can't even paint a simple picture about what I in vision my life to be in a year or so? Oh, I've got it! I'll paint a picture of exactly what I don't in vision my life to look like! Then I won't blow my cover. Because what I really want my life to be is my being the top agent back home. Ooh, I can only see it now...
    All of a sudden she saw a young man, in his twenties come into the room, walk over to Mrs. Hana and whisper something into her ear.
    She saw Mrs. Hana clear her throat and look at her, "Ms. Tenshi? The principle would like to see you in his office. Come right back when your done."
    "Yes ma'am." She answered.
    Tenshi put done the paint brush she was just about to use to paint a picture with, and walked out. "I'll take you to Mr. Mashingan's office." The young man told her.
    She silently walked behind him with her head down. I can't believe I'm going to the principle's office the first day of school. I never went to the principle's office back at my old school. Well I did if you count him telling me how much of a honor I was to him to even attend his academy. But, you were supposed to fight there...thats what the school was about. But not this school, oh no, not this school. I try to help one kid and what do I get? A free ticket to the principle's office.
    She looked up and saw she was in front of a door that read, Mr. Mashingan, principle. on it.
    She pushed it open and peeked her head inside. "Oh, come in Tenshi." She walked in and shut the door behind her. Tenshi saw the three bullies sitting in his office too.
    "You little rats." She said with a hostile attitude.
    "Now, now. Don't go starting fights again, Tenshi." Said the principle still writing on the same piece of paper he was when she came in.
    "These boys told me that you beat them up for no reason at all. Is that true?"
    “Absolutely not! I did not beat them up, if you want to say that, for no reason!” She exclaimed.
    “Is there a good reason for your actions Miss Tenshi?” The principle asked coolly.
    She stood there and made a disgusted face and said, “Yes. In fact. There was a completely logical reason I did it. Personally I think it's a great reason to hurt someone that did what this one here did.” She said while nodding her head towards the supposed 'leader' of the bully group.
    “I acted on my gut instinct.” She quickly added.
    “What did he do, that was so wrong you had to follow your gut instinct and attack him?” The principle questioned.
    “Well last time I checked it was pretty wrong to come up behind someone that was minding his own business, and push him out of the way, right to the floor!” She said in a harsh, but low, voice as not to disrupt the other classes going on around them.
    The principle, still writing, started saying to her, “Well. I didn't know that part of the story, but still...” As he went on about how she still no matter what was happening, still should have not attacked anyone in any way. Also that she should have gone right to him, she thought to herself...I can't believe he's talking to me like I'm a-a child! He has no right at all to talk to me the way he is now...doe's he know how dangerous I am? Eh, I bet not! I may save his pathetic, insignificant life one of these days! And he's sitting over there giving me this whole lecture about how I can't attack anyone, and the least he could do is actually look at me, and he's writing on a piece of paper! Like I'm not even there! “You had no right to do that...” She walked over to his desk and slammed her hands down on it, making him look up at her, shocked, as some papers on the edge of the finely polished table went fluttering gently to the ground.
    “Now. You listen to me and listen good. I'm not somebody who's going to take you talking to me about something I did to help someone, and your not even going to look at my face. You have to bury all your attention thats not pointing towards some brat that isn't getting her way, into writing out detention slips. I have no patience for people like you, and I will not find patience for people like you anytime in the future either. Now if your all finished with me, I would like to get to detention. I have a lot of painting to do.” Tenshi told him with a very serious, very harsh look.
    “Yes. I see. You may go to detention. You may also drop by the art class and pick up you art supplies.” He said in the, still same, calm attitude.
    She took the piece of pink paper and clenched it in her fist as she walked out hearing him tell the boys they have detention
    also.
    She slipped into the art room and grabbed the supplies that was still neatly put in the designated spots in the beautiful wood stand. As she walked towards the front of the class to the door, she glanced at Kade, Hale and Kyu, they just gave a weak shrug and she kept proceeding to the door.
    As she walked out and slowly and quietly shut the door she turned and began walking down the hall to a door that had mean carvings on it, such as, 'Skool sux's' and 'Principle murder's us'. She gasped at the second one, “Principle murder's us?” She said aloud in a whisper as she put her hand up to grasp the silver metal, scratched up handle that needed to be replaced, she saw the name plate on the door, it read, Ms. Terri, Detention, also scratched and needed to be removed.
    She opened the door and came in with all her art things in her arms and shut the door.
    She saw a seat that was least damaged in the front and decided on that one. She then saw a small woman in a neat suit with her brown hair in a tight bun making her look sophisticated.
    “Oh, hello. Ms. Terri?” Tenshi asked.
    “Hello. Yes, I'm Ms. Terri. Do you have a detention slip?” Ms. Terri said in a nice feminine voice.
    Ms. Terri had stopped writing on a piece of paper and took the little pink paper Tenshi held in her outstretched arm.
    She examined the paper and put in it a little box on her desk next to her and continued writing and told her, “Please, take a seat.”
    Tenshi nodded and took the seat the she had saw when she came in.
    Well no one else is here yet. I assume the boys will be here any second...
    just as she said 'second' to herself she heard the door come open and the three boys were standing in the doorway. They came in and handed Ms. Terri their slips and she greeted them with a, “Welcome back boys.” and the boys replied with, “Hey Ms. Terri, thanks.”
    They seem to not be brats around her...why is she so special? They even where acting out when the principle was in the room...
    She finished putting her stand in the right spot and began squirting the paint into little circles in the stand for the paint.
    Okay. So I have to paint what I don't want or think my life is going to be. I'll just keep it simple...how about a cop?...no...how about a...librarian?...aw...I just can't think of anything else except what I really want to be...this is so much harder then I expected it to be...I wonder what Kyu is painting...I mean he, Hale and Kade were already painting by the time I left...better yet...I wonder what Kade was painting...that mans in vision of the future would probably need ten canvas's...I just wonder...okay I need to stop trying to figure out what everyone else is painting and paint something myself because art class is two quarters over and I need to get to my next class and get the assignment...
    maybe I'll paint...ooh I've got it! How about a assassin? Thats great! Being I'm already a assassin, I would be lying to them and thats what I want to do because it would be weird if I said 'Oh I want to be the top agent at my guild! blah!' Since I don't want to be just a assassin in the future, I wouldn't be blowing my cover! And I'm sure theres other people in Japan that want to be assassins...sometimes they just don't want to admit it...
    She began painting and by the time the bell rang for the classes to be over, she had already painted a picture.
    She grabbed her stuff, swung by the art class and quickly put her painting on Mrs, Hana's desk, put everything back where it belonged and ran out to catch up with the guys.
    “Wait up” She said to them as they slowed their step and she caught up.
    “Sorry about getting put in detention.” She apologized.
    “No sweat,” Kade said, “I always get in detention!”
    “But I don't! At my old school they require you to fight. That was the classes, and they also teach you to stand up for what you believe in!” She said triumphantly

    They went to Gym, then Math, after Math they went to Science and then it was lunch...

    At the lunch hall...
    Tenshi was in line to get her food at the cafeteria. A few people were ahead of her and Kyu, Kade and Hale where behind her.
    Then it was her turn to get some food and the woman pulled up a big ladle full and dripping of something creamy and looked like it had, or once had, some type of noodle in it, along with some kind of meat. It looks like month old ramen that sat in the Arizona desert for three weeks...
    The woman was about to dump a whole mess of it on her plate but Tenshi quickly pushed the ladle back and said, “Oh, no thank you. Please no.”
    The woman just shrugged and slopped what she was about to give to Tenshi, on Kyu's plate, who was next in line.
    “Eh. Gross.” He said holding his nose.
    Tenshi kept walking past the three other ladies that were giving out some kind of...something, and went right to the self serve table and got a few cold vegetables and made herself a salad.
    She went and sat down at a free table and the boys joined her.
    “I can't believe your not going to eat anything.” Kade said shoving a scoop of the stuff that the first woman was handing out into his mouth.
    Tenshi just stared at him and said, “You'll eat anything that won't eat you first, will you?”
    He sat there a moment and thought, “Yep.” He said.
    “Okay, your officially the most disgusting person I know, Kade. Plus any chances of my actually kissing you, have just flown out the window.”
    He stopped, let all of it drop out of his mouth and said, “Doesn't that mean that you would have actually kissed me before?”
    And without waiting for her response he said, “Yes!” With his hands up in the air.
    All the noise and people moving around stopped and one boy at a table next to theirs said, “What did you find the golden ticket?” And everyone burst out laughing because he just so happened to be holding a partly opened chocolate candy bar, in one hand.
    He sat down and then as the commotion in the cafeteria started up again Tenshi said, “Maybe. Maybe I would have. Maybe I still will. You never know.”
    He made a, “Yes.” in a whisper and they finished eating.

    After School that day, at Kyu, Hale and Kade's house...

    “So today was great. Except that principle. He's a pain, but everyone else was nice.”
    “I'm glad you had a great time Tenshi.” Kyu told her.
    “I told about that principle! He never quits. He's always trying to find something to pick at you about!”
    “Cool it Kade.” Hale said.
    “I will not cool it! He's out to get everyone!” He said as he and Hale walked up stairs.
    Kyu and Tenshi sat across from one another in bar stools at the little island that is in the middle of the kitchen.
    “But I really am glad you had a good time.” Kyu said not knowing what else to say.
    She smiled and said, “Yeah. I know it was probably bad, my being thrown into detention my first day and all.”
    He was about to say something when a piercing noise shattered all the windows.
    Tenshi and Kyu went flying off their stools and hit the wall.
    Then two men jumped in the house through the window panes. Tenshi shot up and helped Kyu get up and pushed him behind her so the two men would have to go through her to get to Kyu since she knew he was exactly who they wanted.
    “I knew you were going to come soon. I expected you. You have no chance.” She told them as she progressed towards them. They stayed in their same fighting position's even as she kept slowly walking to them. “Go up stairs Kyu. They wont get past me.” She then started lifting into the air. “You see, I'm different from the other assassins back home. I have a very unusual back round. Or I have very unusual powers from the others. Don't worry...I'll kill you both before you leave.”
    As she was about fifteen feet in the air her natural light green eyes now shined the darkest black. Her eyes were like staring into a endless vortex that promised your demise. You could almost hear it calling your name...calling for you to let go and let the darkness consume you. Her hair stayed the same and it was hanging over her shoulders and some stray pieces went into her face. Her arms were now covered in pitch black tattoo looking marks that ended at her knuckles and seemed to originate at the ends of her eyes.
    Kyu started backing up and tripped on the bottom stair but quickly got up and started running up the stairs. He ran into the small computer room he had upstairs that Hale and Kade always hung out in and he saw them squirming, trying to get loose of two other men that came with the people that Tenshi was dealing with down stairs.

    Down stairs Tenshi touched the ground and started walking towards the hypnotized men standing in front of her, completely entwined in her power, she touched their heads with each of her hands and the darkness from the marks on her arms traveled down her finger tips and into their heads, frying all their brain cells, making their brains basically liquid.
    Their lifeless bodies fell to the floor as Tenshi saw Kyu jumping down the stairs four at a time.
    He saw her body was still pulsating with power.
    “What's wrong?” She asked in a voice that was different from her voice. This voice sounded evil almost.
    “More people...they have...Kade and Hale!” He said breathless.
    She started flying up the stairs with a trail of shadows behind her. She stopped in the room and looked around franticly,
    “Where are they!?” She screamed.
    “They must have taken them!” Kyu said as he ran into the room.
    “No! We have to find them!” She said throwing stuff around the room as to try and find some kind of clue to where they went.
    She then landed on the ground and became calm once again.
    The darkness that once surrounded her body in odd markings, now began going into the ground, making odd shadowy creatures. “Now I want you to find them. Kill anyone that steps in your way. That excludes regular people. Go!” She told them, and they at the sound of her voice saying 'Go!' immediately when zooming away, hiding themselves in the shadows, they began to search everywhere.

    Tenshi, now looking normal, was pacing up and down in the computer room. Every once and a while she would stop at the wall and slam her hand against it, or kick something on the floor.
    “Tenshi, please sit down.” Kyu pleaded.
    She was about to argue and say she didn't want to sit down or rest until Kade and Hale were found and back home, safe, but decided not to.
    She finally gave up and sat down next to Kyu on the soft couch and laid her head on his chest slowly moving up
    and down from his breathing.
    “You really care about them don't you?” Kyu asked her now softly stroking her hair.
    Her eyes started to water and she looked up at him as a tear swiftly went down her face and down her cheek, onto his shirt, “Yes, I do. I mean I take my jobs very seriously and I tend to get close to the people I'm protecting at the moment. Because I usually stay with them until the person or persons that are trying to kill or hurt them is gone. Well,” She sniffed and continued talking, “I stay alone sometimes. They will probably send two more agents that are right under me. So I can stay with you and the two other agents will go everywhere with Kade and Hale. Just so you all can split up a little. I'm really sure that Kade will be arguing. Being alone with another woman and such.”
    “What do you mean? Are there any males?” Kyu asked curiously.
    “No. Its only woman. There are male trainers but they only send them in for a real emergency.”
    He was still stroking her hair and he was asking her questions about the guild to try to get her mind off of Hale and Kade,
    “Now, who do you think they'll send in?”
    She thought for a moment on that and then looked up at him again, “I believe that they'll send in Carr and Alexandre! They are awesome fighter's and they have powerful powers too. Their whole name's are Silver Alexandre and Zeffirelli Carr.”
    He smiled and all of a sudden all these shadows came into the room and Tenshi shot up, “Did you find them?” She asked impatiently.
    One opened its mouth and told her something in a different language, that Kyu could not understand.
    She turned to him and said, “I know where they are.” She smiled.
    She then turned to him and took his hand. “Hold on.” She just told him and all of a sudden he felt this weird wind blowing up and he saw his computer room slowly fading away as if they were backing away into a dark tunnel.
    Then when he thought he was going to go insane, they where there. Outside a large building. “Stay here. I have to go in alone.” She told him.
    She ran over to the door and opened it, looked around, and walked in.

    Outside Kyu stood there waiting for her just as she told him to.
    “Mm... what to do?”

    She dropped from the beams, landed on top of someone and quickly snapped their neck. She walked through the halls of this building killing everyone and hiding the bodies, destroying camera's before they had time to catch her so the guards would be alerted, and taking keys from special guards and proceeding through the large maze type place she was in.
    Finally she came to a large metal door. She, using her power, stepped through it and as her body entered the metal it started to become like black, thick, water almost.
    Then she saw a man sitting in a chair with guards all around him. Then she saw Kade and Hale in cages behind him! They saw her and they yelled, “Tenshi! Help!”
    “Don't worry I'll get you out.” Said Tenshi
    “Oh, you will?” Said the man in the chair.
    “You must be the gangs leader, huh?”
    “Yes. I am. Now if you don't mind I'll have my men take you out now.”
    “What if I do mind and, I don't act nicely?” Asked Tenshi.
    “Then your friends will die.”
    “Oh, really? What friends?” Tenshi asked him with her head cocked.
    “What?,” He said and quickly turned around only to see that the cages were empty and there was no sign of the boys.
    “What the-”
    He screamed “Guards get her!” he turned around to see all his guards dead on the floor surrounded in their own puddles of blood.
    He gasped and started to back up but tripped on a body.
    She walked towards him and stood above him, “Now. I'm going to make it quick and painless. Your not going to feel a thing.”
    She told him.
    Tenshi lunged her hand into his chest, blood splattered her legs, shirt and droplets on her face. She twisted it around and grasped something and ripped. She had torn his heart out. “And that was for kidnapping my friends.” She said to his dead body as blood poured out of the hole she had made in his chest.

    She came in to the house with blood all over her usual day outfit.
    “Oh my.” Said Kyu as she walked right up the stairs to get clean.
    She turned the knob in the shower and cool water came out and then quickly turned into hot water.
    Tenshi took off her clothes and threw them away in a separate bag from the trash and put it on the floor to put outside when she got done.
    She slipped into the shower, letting the hot water hit her head and roll down her face.
    She enjoyed the feeling of becoming clean again.
    Ah, this is great...
    Then she heard a knock on the bathroom door as she started to put some shampoo in her hair. As she violently scrubbed the soap around on her head and her fingers massaged her scalp, she said, “Yeah? Come in if you want. I'm already in the shower.”
    She heard someone come in a shut the door and she heard Hale, “Oh, hey Tenshi. I just wanted to say thanks for helping us and all. Kade's here too.”
    She smiled in the shower and hugged her soapy body.
    “Yeah me too. Thanks Ten.”
    She laughed at him calling her 'Ten' instead of calling her 'Tenshi'
    “I like Ten better.” She said
    “Uh, guys I'm almost ready to get out. Wanna leave the bathroom?” Tenshi asked.
    She heard Hale say, “Okay, I'll be down stairs.”
    She didn't hear Kade leave.
    “Kade...?”
    “Yeah?” He asked like that wasn't his cue to leave.
    “I need to get out.”
    “Oh, okay. I'll be down stairs with Kyu and Hale.”
    She heard a door open and shut and then she heard her bedroom door shut then she turned the knob to the 'off' position and got out, wrapped herself in a big warm towel and began brushing her hair in front of the mirror.
    It just seemed too easy...for a gang leader that killed a whole family like the Vahn's he sure was weak...and he actually killed that family himself...It was just...way too easy...
    She walked out of the bathroom and began to clothe herself for nighttime since it was a quarter to nine, and went down stairs.
    When she was half way down the steps she stopped short and thought about it...
    That bracelet...why did his bracelet look familiar to me?
    She continued to walk down the stairs and sat on a stool at the island in the kitchen, and began eating a strawberry.
    It just doesn't make any sense... then she remembered, she thought back to a lesson that she had a long time ago back at the school she was trained at...”Now this here is a bracelet only worn by people In this gang. Now take your necklaces and scan the bracelet.” A man had said that was teaching the class. She thought of herself sitting there at her table and began to scan the bracelet with her necklace. The pure white crystal glowed and Tenshi had started to right something down. Then she saw herself throw her hand up in the air and say, “I know! I know! Please ask me his basic personal information!” She said, in a higher voice nothing like her voice now, waving her arms in the air.
    “Okay, Tenshi. Tell me his, name, age, and month of his birthday.”
    “Oh, thats easy! His name is Professor Monroe, he's 37 years of age, and his birthday is November, 18th.” Ten-year old Tenshi said with pride...
    She came out of the flashback and looked at the boys, “He's not dead.”
    They looked at her and looked at each other and then looked at her and said, “Who?”
    “The gang leader. I didn't kill him. I killed a clone.”
    The boys began to grasp the serious problem in this news. “He's...a...clone...?” Kyu asked just to make sure he heard correctly.
    She nodded and then said, “I know he's a clone because...because of this necklace. It allows the people at my guild to read these.” She held up the silver bracelet with weird symbols on it, and held it close to her necklace and it began to glow.
    “His occupation is, Clone, his name is, Clone #1, his birthday is, November, 1st, He was cloned yesterday.” Tenshi told them.
    Which means. Theres more to come...


    ...The End...
    I'm going to make more of these chapters but it will take me awhile because of how long they are. I hope that you all enjoyed the story. Just remember, this is the stuff my dreams are made of ^o^.
